Terrorblade,
Visage,
Warlock.
Winter Wyvern
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 3%)Ogre Magi
* Winter Wyvern's
Winter's Curse works very well against the increased attack speed from Bloodlust.
Io
* Cold Embrace can render the extra attack speed from Overcharge meaningless.

Winter's Curse are very affective against Io, as it has to stay close to its tethered hero.
Chaos Knight
[wiki] rating: 1.6 (winrate: 47% pickrate: 3%)Ogre Magi
* Phantasm dispels Ignite and makes targeting the real Chaos Knight much harder.

Warlock.
Earth Spirit
[wiki] rating: 1.2 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 3%)Ogre Magi
* Earth Spirit's useful kit of Slows, Stuns, and Silences can set up kills on Ogre Magi and the silence can stop him from using his abilities.
Io
* Squishy heroes (Io,
Crystal Maiden,
Lina...), as Earth Spirit can deal tons of damage with Magnetize.
Omniknight
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 55% pickrate: 3%)Ogre Magi
* Heavenly Grace reduces Fireblast stun time and dispels Ignite.
* Purification can heal damaged heroes if needed.

Undying
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 10%)Ogre Magi
* Undying saps strength from heroes with Decay, and Ogre Magi's high strength gain will allow Undying to steal more and more strength, becoming stronger with each use.
* Due to the Strength steal from Decay, Undying is normally very tanky, and has high health, making it harder for Ogre Magi to kill him.
Clinkz
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 52% pickrate: 7%)Io
* Burning Barrage and
Searing Arrows allow Clinkz to quickly kill Io due to its low armor.

Tether or
Relocate.
Oracle
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 4%)Ogre Magi
* Fate's Edict gives full immunity from Ogre Magi's mostly magical damage.

Naga Siren
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 3%)Io
* Ensnare and
Song of the Siren can be used to cancel both, Tether and Relocate and to close the distance on Io.
* Rip Tide combined with illusions from
Mirror Image often finish off Io before he can save himself.
* Spirit's weak area-of-effect makes it a bad tool to deal with Naga Siren's illusions from Mirror Image.
* Once Naga Siren buys Aghanim's Scepter, she can gain access to
Reel In, which not only allows her to cancel both, Tether and Relocate, but also to pull Io to herself and her team while he is affected with
Ensnare, similarly to Batrider's
Flaming Lasso.
* Aghanim's Shard upgraded
Song of the Siren can also heal the hero Io and his tethered targed try to gank.
Jakiro
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 51% pickrate: 12%)Io

Tether or
Relocate.
Ancient Apparition
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 50% pickrate: 5%)Io

* Lucent Beam can be used to cancel both, Tether and Relocate.

Moon Glaives and
Eclipse abilities can make short work of Io and its tethered ally, particularly when upgraded with
Aghanim's Scepter.

Eclipse can be used to cancel both, Tether and Relocate.

Leshrac
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Io
* Io is a hero who needs to be close to it's tethered target to make it effective, and that's where Leshrac gets the advantage thanks to many of his area-of-effect abilities.
* Lightning Storm will usually hit both Io and its tethered target since both will be close enough for the lightning to jump.
* Diabolic Edict and
Pulse Nova hit all units near Leshrac, meaning he can do colossal damage to both, Io and its tethered target.
Additional:
* Lightning Storm will usually hit both Io and his Tethered target since both will be close enough for the lightning to jump. It can then be followed up by Split Earth.

Viper
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 4%)Ogre Magi
* Nethertoxin breaks Multicast.
* Corrosive Skin minimizes the damage from Ignite and Fireblast.

Lifestealer
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 49% pickrate: 5%)Ogre Magi

Feast.
Disruptor
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 10%)Io
* Disruptor can always Glimpse back Io or his target after he Relocated nearby.
* Even better, thanks to the indicator on the ground, you can even preemptively drop Static Storm and Kinetic Field on the spot they will relocate to.

Additional:
* Glimpse directly negates Relocate.

[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 48% pickrate: 5%)Io
* Batrider's Flaming Lasso can be used to cancel Io's attempts to escape with
Relocate and drag him away from his
Tethered target. And since Io doesn't like buying
Linken's Sphere, he will be always vulnerable to Batrider's initiations.
* Io's tendency to stick close to it's Tethered target can make Io and it's target vulnerable to Batrider's harrasing.
* Aghanim's Scepter upgraded
Flaming Lasso allows Batrider to catch and drag two heroes at once, not just one. Which can potentially turn Io's
Tether against him.
Additional:

Grimstroke
[wiki] rating: 1.0 (winrate: 46% pickrate: 4%)Io

Relocate, Phantom's Embrace can stop its channel to prevent escape.

* Ogre Magi has single-targeted magical-only damage and disables and is less effective against Meepo's clones.

About
This website was made to help you in pick stage of online game Dota 2. It calculates rating for each possible counterpicks based on tips from web-based database made up entirely of user contributions Dota 2 wiki.
You will get the list of recommended hero counters with a list of tips written by Dota 2 wiki contributors explaining why it's good against the particular hero. In comparison to other similar websites, which show only rating based on average hero win rate from dotabuff or similar service.
How to interpret this data
Take it with a bit of grain of salt, especially if the recommendation has a low rating (<= 1), some heroes
may win a lane in an early game but would lose in late game (and vice versa). That's why sometimes
you could hero names appearing as a counter and as being countered, as on image:
You can also add your own tips, update old data and fix mistakes by editing page on Dota 2 Wiki (it works like Wikipedia - anyone can contribute, you don't even need to register) these edits will appear on this website automatically (data is updated several times per week).
Right now there is no app/overlay that will detect picks automatically (like overwolf dota plus or become the gamer), instead, you can open web version in a steam in-game browser or use mobile version on your smartphone.
